Cheaper payments, verifiable proofs, hardened protocols: blockchains judged on what they change, not on their price.
This section judges blockchains by what they change, not by their price: cross-border payments that cost cents instead of percentage points, verifiable proofs — diplomas, provenance, timestamps — protocols hardening, infrastructure holding up under load. Speculation, memes and daily prices stay out; it is the one filter this journal applies to a subject the press covers almost exclusively through its charts.
We follow real deployments: a central bank testing interbank settlement, a land registry going into production, a remittance corridor measurably cutting its fees. The numbers — volumes, costs, latencies — make the article; announcements without a use case wait until they have one. Sources attached, as everywhere else in the journal.
